After we were thoroughly warmed up we headed the 1.5km to help Scope Charity Shop, this fantastic shop is a centre point on Camden High Street and always needs our help! Helen and her volunteers were grateful to see us and had lots for us to do:

• Rosie and Katherine wore Scope t-shirts with pride to collect money on the street - raising over £13!
• Liz, Abi and Sally sorted shoes, calendars and Christmas cards!
• Liz and Grace measured and labelled various trousers around the store.
• Thomas and Laura dressed four mannequins in very fashionable wear!
• Alex, Beth, Meredith and Alex cleaned the stairs, scriting boards, windows, doors, shelves, toilet and kitchen!
• Chris, Laura and Julie sorted accessories, ties and more.
• Jonathan, Hanry, Chris, Alba and Ana hung, labelled and ironed clothes that have recently been donated.

Over 40 minutes we got tons done and the shop is now a lot more sorted, clean and beautiful than when we arrived.

After a group picture we headed to Granary Square along the canal for a time trial - fun!

Good work everyone, next week we are off to Kentish Town City Farm - sign up here.
